Zeitgeist: Addendum

NOTE: I don't agree with everything here, I just think there's some interesting points.

Have you ever wondered why are animals so simplistic that they exist without ensalaving themselves into a system and why are humans so stupid that we need to fight and compete with eachother to survive?

"In a world where 1% of the population owns 40% of the planet's wealth... in a world where 34,000 children die every single day from poverty and preventable diseases, and where 50% of the world's population lives on less than 2 dollars a day...one thing is clear: Something is fucked up dood."
-Peter Joseph

I notice that the Zeitgeist is not very popular/welcome here on newgrounds. People tend to stereotype anyone who disagrees with the system as subversive. Some of you disagrees because you believe that imagining a world without money is utopic. Those who are rich enough to get anything they want wont like the idea of getting rid of the money.

I was browsing the forums here on newgrounds about topics made about Zeitgeist, most of you were claiming that it's nothing but fallacies because no one would survive with only 2 dollars a day... if you only knew. I know some people who does here in Mexico, you can't imagine it because you want to stay in your bubble where money rules all, and that's understandable if it benefits you.

It is possible for us to survive without fighting eachother. We have an infinite resource of energy that we are not using because it is not convenient for big corporations that exports gas. This is related to MindChamber's newspost: "Who killed the electric car?"

There is no need to pay for taxes if our energy resources are infinite. Watch the video for details, please. The more I type, the more I may confuse you.

I don't agree with everything on it, though. I don't think getting rid of money would be the perfect solution, but I do agree that we should not be working for them.

I saw Zeitgeist, the parts on economy (Zeitgeist Addendum: Part I) and religion (Zeitgeist: Part I). I'm not generally one to fall for different conspiracy theories and such, but this is way beyond that. Anyone who simply throws everything in the movie as junk is clearly a fool, because the information stated in it deserves some serious thinking. Besides, the part on economy isn't anything completely secretive: it's the actual way economy works, but you don't get to know that outside economy colleges/schools.

A part of the problem is how we are raised. Some of my friends got 10 dollars for every A+ they got at school. My parents didn't. I was kind of pissed at the time but now I'm glad they didn't.

Those friends today do nothing to help their parents/friends unless they get something in return. They believe money is the main incentive for everything, that's why is so hard for people to give it up.

A perfect society would be a contradiction of human life. Everyone has a unique mind and a different idea of what makes makes a perfect society, and these differences is what causes people to fight. But having differences gives the world color and beauty.

I was just thinking about that the other day. A perfect society is only plausible with perfect people, and we are far from being perfect.

It is an utopic society after all :(

However, the least we could do is to get rid of these senators and replace them with men of science since they are the ones who really are trained to solve problems. Our senators here in Mexico do nothing but raising their own salary, you should see the fights they get into with eachother. In live television, I mean, really...

An electric car with its own hydrogen fuel cells that refills in only 2-3 minutes?!

Time was the only excuse for not getting one. As soon as that technology arrives here in Mexico I'm so getting one.

Thanks man! I'll recommend it to random strangers on the street.

I really think our only hope lies in space exploration. The smart people who see the benefit of finding/living on another habitable planet will leave and let all of the stupid and self-destructive humans here to die out. I know, a pretty bleak point of view, but fuckit ;)

Fuoco 2009-04-24 14:32:48

It is more likely that all the stupid and self-destructive humans find another planet to live in it and let us die in here, but I like the idea of space exploration. There's so very little we know about it. Heck, there's so very little we know about our very own planet, like the sea.

Yo tambien conduerdo en que Zeitgeist tiene puntos muy interesante, aunque el proyecto venus... no se esta raro.
Hace poco vi uno que es movimiento zeitgeist y me agrado mas aunque era muchos menos polemico y menos editado

A Zeitgesit siempre se le ha considerado subversivo, es la parte que me gusta.

Sin embargo describen un mundo donde todo es investigación y progreso, y francamente no funcionará. Todos queremos hacer algo diferente, y aún si logran que todo sea como dicen siempre habrá personas que quieran hacer las cosas a su manera. No podemos sistematizarnos así como así.
